Heart attack victim rescued from harbour

Coastguards helped a man who had suffered a suspected heart attack while on a coble in Bridlington bay.

The team met paramedics at the harbour after the boat returned to shore when the casualty was taken ill on board on Saturday monring.

A spokesman for Bridlington Coastguard Rescue Team said: “The casualty wasn’t as critical as first thought but still required transferring to the ambulance for transporting to hospital.”

On Sunday, the team were needed to help a dog which had gone over the cliffs at Sewerby.

A spokesman said: “The team were quickly on scene and set up a cliff top system and a technician descended to the dog. The dog was restless and was moving around the cliff ledge and was difficult to get hold of.
